Razor wheel prep

[shovelhead]

I have a set of razor wheels I plan to use on an outlaw car in a scout race coming up in Jan.
These are non-bearing wheels. Would oil be better than graphite for these? And will I need to cant the rears or run straight? I only have three wheels, so it will be setup to RR using a guide pin in place of other wheel.
Any thoughts advice would be greatly appreciated.

What brand of wheels? Oil is always better.... No cant on the rears, positive cant on the DFW and railrun if it is a center guided track.

After doing some research, I think I am going to go with the G.O.A.T boy bearing wheels setup. This is our last year of racing in scouts. And I want to make a statement.
Any advice as to setup and do's/dont's again would be appreciated. The bearings look like they take the variables of prep out of the equation. And advertised as being the fastest of any setup. Seems like a no brainer. We'll be able to put more time into my sons car i.e. axle / wheel prep, tuning etc...

What kind of track are you going to be running on?

It is an aluminum Piantedosi Freedom track.

Oh good, I did the same thing at our pack last year only we had a wood track and it ruined my wheels but even with a bent axle and a banged up alignment I still smoked the rest of the dads...you should be good to go. Although, if you are going to buy the GOAT system, I would go ahead and buy a DD4H drilled block...Good luck and keep us posted on your results and send some pics!!!

If you want to use the goat setup. I have one available in the classifieds below. PM if you're interested. It's ready for paint. I have it currently priced at value of parts, so your wouldn't be spending extra. You can look at Nov Unlimiteds in the MOM to see how it run.

Yes, if I'm going to spend the $ on the bearing system, I'll get an extended wheelbase predrilled block
from DD4H. My last years outlaw car is the one in my avatar. It won pack and district. But at district
it was pretty close. The car that won second was built by the area scoutmaster. And he's been talking
smack ever since. I kinda like shaping my own cars, but it's time to put pride aside and go with proven
speed. Like I said, I want them to be speechless when my car makes its first run. LOL.
